"Isn't that right? I was in a group with Nan Qu. She left with my permission, and I completed our group's task. I didn't hold anyone back. What does it have to do with her?"

Just then, Zhuang Shi hurriedly said, "Everyone, stop arguing. This mission is indeed quite difficult, and with the production team deliberately guiding things, it's really unexpected that it would turn out this way. Besides, you are already the longest-serving singers so far. That's enough to prove that you are really amazing."

Today happens to be the last day of filming for this episode, so let's have a happy and successful conclusion to the recording, okay?

Seeing that everyone was in low spirits, Shan Yuwen quickly said, "Yes, yes, let's be happy. Oh, and I also prepared gifts for all of you teachers today. I didn't have time this morning, so I'll give them to you now."

As he spoke, Shan Yuwen hurriedly ran to get the gift, and the atmosphere finally eased.

Meanwhile, Nan Qu went to see Director Li.

The two said something, and after Director Li came out, he announced to everyone:

"Everyone, because the hidden storyline of Nanqu has been activated, the mission has been reopened. You have three hours to complete the mission."

Everyone stared at Nan Qu in shock, and even the live stream fell silent for a moment.

[Is this fake? It must be fake, right?]

[What the hell is this hidden plot? It's all thanks to the power of capital, isn't it?]

Is this Nanqu actor very wealthy?

I don't know, but she owns a clothing store. You can search for it online if you're interested. I'd like to say, it's the kind of clothing that many people can't afford.

Nan Qu was not intimidated and met everyone's gaze, saying:

“I have another version of Granny Liu’s story, but this version is a tragedy.”

"I've heard from the old folks here that Wushan Village was originally called Wuzhai, and its original address wasn't here, but further in. Wuzhai has always had a holy maiden who possesses some magical abilities."

The live stream had barely begun when the audience was speechless.

What kind of ridiculous story is this? A newly adapted version of a Southern opera?

[If you don't know, shut up! These are things the old folks in Wushan Village said!]

I'm from Wushan Village, and I can vouch for that. Nanqu said something my great-grandmother also told me.

I often hear my elders mention this, and I liked listening to it when I was little, but now that I'm older, I think it's too unbelievable and I stop believing it.

At this moment, Xu Zhurui couldn't help but sneer: "Nanqu, your storytelling skills are really bad. What kind of nonsense is this? A saintess, special abilities? Are you saying she can summon Ultraman?"

Nan Qu gave her only a cold look: "I thought you would cherish this opportunity."

Xu Zhurui immediately fell silent.

Cao Lan chimed in, "Yes, yes, it's a rare opportunity. Xiao Qu, please continue. We don't have much time."

Nan Qu nodded politely before continuing:

“There was a saintess named Wudi’er. Of course, this is not her real name, but rather the name given to her by the previous saintess.”

The southern song had just begun when some viewers who had been watching the live stream seemed a bit confused:

Does the elderly person mention this?

I don't think so?

[Stop arguing! Don't forget that the ancestors of Nanqu knew the ancestors of Wuzhai. It's normal that they've heard different versions! Let her continue; perhaps there are things we don't know.]

What happened before this?

[Just listen upstairs, I'm getting goosebumps.]

The live stream was instantly buzzing with excitement. What Nan Qu didn't know was that some people thought this variety show would bring about significant changes to the village. They wanted to use this opportunity to create hype and climb the social ladder.

Therefore, I take this variety show very seriously. Naturally, I watch the live stream every day.

Now, seeing what Nanqu was about to say, these people couldn't sit still: "Quick, call the director and tell him to stop that woman from talking nonsense! Tell the director that if this woman continues to talk nonsense, our village will kick them out!"

However, these people discovered that no matter how many times they called, they couldn't get in touch with the director at all.

These people panicked: "Quick, call for help, let's go together."

Meanwhile, Nanqu, based on her investigations, summarized the events: "Wu Di'er was born in the wrong era. She was clearly a holy woman of the Wu tribe, but she was born in the 1960s or 70s. To protect her, the Wuzhai people sent her to the mountains. However, she was discovered by educated youth who claimed that the villagers were abusing women and children. They threatened to report the entire village if she wasn't released."

At that time, everyone in the village will be dragged away to be criticized and denounced.

The villagers had no choice but to take Wu Di'er in.

However, the villagers all told Wudi'er that she could not use witchcraft, much less perform divination rituals. But although Wudi'er was born in the wrong era, she was also a rare genius in the entire history of the witch clan. While other holy maidens needed rituals to know the future, she could see a person's past and future with just a glance.

However, the Wu tribe forbids sharing what they foresee of someone's future with others, lest they suffer a backlash. Yet, Wu Di'er foresaw a catastrophe, a catastrophe that would claim the lives of all the people of Wushan Village. Between herself and her people, Wu Di'er chose her people.

As Nan Qu spoke, she couldn't help but think of those eyes that, though seemingly seeing through everything, remained pure, and her heart ached for her.
